Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Japan gets underway.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Takumi Minamino has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Costa Rica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 15' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 30' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Miki Yamane suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Hidemasa Morita, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 40' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 41' - Anthony Contreras was booked on 41.
  • 42' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 44' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Miki Yamane gets a Yellow card.
  • 46' - The Japan manager makes a substitution. Ayase Ueda departs to be replaced by Takuma Asano.
  • 51' - Costa Rica is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 56' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Yuto Nagatomo made 131 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 61' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Celso Borges.
  • 62' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
